What Spaces delivers
In production
Proven at VFACE Matric School, Tiruchirappalli
Running across 500+ students as the school’s system of record for attendance.
- 99.2% first-pass accuracy
- 0 false negatives over a 6-month operational trial
- First-period start delay cut from 4 minutes to under 30 seconds
- Manual roll-call retired
Features
Everything the platform does, by area
Capture
Multiple sensors, one identity decision.
- HD video face recognition
- IR thermal for low light and fever flags
- Audio cues for classroom presence
Reconcile
Conflicts are resolved by the system, not by teachers.
- Bayesian multi-modal fusion
- Identity confidence scoring
- Human review queue for ambiguous cases
Act
Presence turns into decisions.
- Live teacher and operations dashboards
- Parent attendance confirmations on mobile
- Truancy and pattern alerts
Prove
Ready for regulators and disputes.
- Sensor-level audit trail
- DPDPA-aligned retention and purging
- On-premises option for compliance-critical sites
Multiple sensors, one identity decision.
- HD video face recognition
- IR thermal for low light and fever flags
- Audio cues for classroom presence
- Edge AI at the door, no cloud dependency
How it works
From first call to live in four steps
Survey and place sensors
We map entry points and classrooms, then size the video, thermal and audio array for each.
Enrol with consent
Students and staff are enrolled with verifiable consent. Templates stay on your infrastructure.
Recognise at the edge
On-device models decide in under half a second, so doors never wait on the internet.
Reconcile and report
The fusion engine writes one record per person, flags doubt, and updates dashboards and parents.

The challenge
Roll-call, swipe cards and fingerprints no longer give you a trustworthy record
Manual attendance does not scale
At 500+ students, roll-call eats the first minutes of every period and still leaves gaps and proxy marks.
Single sensors fail quietly
Fingerprints fail on damp hands and cards get lent. One failed modality should not become a wrong record.
Multi-site blind spots
Leaders of several campuses see yesterday’s numbers, if any. Presence needs to be one live source of truth.
How we build
Engineering principles behind every engagement
Edge first, cloud second
Doors must work when the network does not. Core recognition runs on the device.
- Sub-500 ms on-device inference
- Cloud re-identification only for low confidence
- Offline buffering and resync
